Graffiti outside Le Kopshop, a studio/performance space on the Plateau.

For lack of a better entry, I thought I'd post a bit and re-introduce myself. It has been a few years since I have posted anything substantial, and things have changed a lot. At this time three years ago I was planning on moving to Toronto. That, of course, ended up being a huge mistake. And three years later, I am facing another massive life change. In the next six months I will be leaving Montreal, and Canada, for good. Where I am going isn't a hundred percent sure, I'm still working out the logistics. But it looks like I am going to do a SWAP to the UK. My visa will be two years long, so that's more than enough time to get to know the country and whether I want to stay there. I am pretty confident I will love it, it's just a big shift. I've been out of the country before (to the US), but this time I am moving by myself. It's a huge task. I want to be able to be comfortable and not have to struggle tremendously. And I want to enjoy myself. I'm looking to live in London. And me posting on this blog again is part of it. I want to write about the experience, how I am going to handle things, what my plans are, etc. I don't even know if anyone reads this anymore but I don't care; It's my blog after all. So yeah, that's where I am in life at the moment. I will write more, I will say more, and once I'm in London this probably will shift in tone. But I'll post pictures.

Here's to the next six months.

In greyscale, originally uploaded by gleefully gloomy.

This picture was taken on St-Laurent last autumn. I like the contrast in shades, the lights and the darks.

Ok so I just wanted to test this out. I haven't posted on here in what seems like forever (just under three years). So I think it's time I get back into the swing of things. When I wrote my last post I never imagined that I would write on this blog again. But over the past few weeks I have been feeling restless. And with that restlessness comes the need to act out creatively. I say 'act out' because that's pretty much what it is - an acting out. Putting forth some sort of creative energy, be it in written form, be it in any form. And that's what I intend on doing. I want to edit the page to make it look a little better, put in some new graphics, and we'll see what happens!

Just a test.
